Roma, Endrick under observation. Mourinho shields him

Roma plan to revive their interest in Real Madrid winger Endrick in January, but Mourinho has resisted previous approaches and limited the Brazilian to just four minutes.

Roma are preparing a fresh bid for Real Madrid's Endrick in the January transfer window, hoping to secure him on loan with a purchase option. The Brazilian winger, who cost Real Madrid nearly €60m two years ago, has barely featured under Mourinho, appearing for just four minutes this season. Roma attempted to sign him last summer but were blocked by the Portuguese manager, who insists Endrick is crucial to his plans despite minimal playing time. Milan are also monitoring the 18-year-old's situation.
